the inability to streamline my life

this came up when i searched "all over the place" I LOVE IT!

I run three blogs, badly. This, Metropolis, and Maya.

I run two companies: Metropolis and Maya Essentials

When I opened Maya in late 2010 I thought “this is it! Im doing everything right with this company! Adios, Metropolis!”

Then some stuff happened with Metropolis. The micas I used for coloring the soaps became discontinued, there are some problems with my licensing fees for the images, and the constant attempt to improve packaging and protect the soaps. And now I may have the opportunity to attract a large wholesale client, but I had to change the packaging to be a bit more…er…”crunchy.” This packaging redesign and, really, product redesign has rejuvenated my love for Metropolis. But my love, much like my focus, has a limit…there is a push and pull and when there is love for one company, there is not for the other. So Maya has my apathy now and I have thoughts of closing it after only 6 months.

Perhaps I’ve just stretched myself too thin with these companies or perhaps Im incapable of moving out of the honeymoon phase, or what I call the “shiny object syndrome.” I doubt I’ll close Maya and I doubt I’ll ever combine the two.

The point to this post? Er…hrm….stick with one thing and love it even when you’re bored.
